The United States Federal Trade Commission's Labeling and Advertising of Home Insulation Rule requires installers to provide each customer (builder or consumer) with a signed and dated contract or receipt for the insulation installed.

The receipt for loose-fill must show the type of insulation, coverage area, thickness, R-value and number of bags installed. The manufacturer must also provide a manufacturer's fact sheet. The fact sheet for loose-fill insulation must contain, in addition to the manufacturer's name, address and type of insulation, a chart containing the R-value and coverage information contained in the sample table above. Installers must have this information and show it to customers before they agree to buy the insulation.

A new-home seller must put the following information in every sales contract: the type, thickness, and R-value of the insulation that will be installed in each part of the house.
